La sperimentazione clinica NCT07325981 è uno studio interventistico per Paralisi cerebrale, attualmente non ancora in arruolamento. L'arruolamento dovrebbe iniziare il 15 dicembre 2025, con l'obiettivo di raggiungere 90 partecipanti. Sotto la guida di Ziauddin University, dovrebbe concludersi entro il 1 agosto 2026. I dati più recenti da ClinicalTrials.gov sono stati aggiornati l'ultima volta il 8 gennaio 2026.
Sommario breve
Cerebral Palsy (CP) accounts for approximately 0.9% of the global disease burden and affects 2.4-4% of children under 5 years old, with associated developmental and coordination impairments. Pediatric physical therapy aims to enhance independence and quality of life; however, maintaining adherence to conventional treatment remains a major challenge due to its repetitive and monotonous nature, leading to reduced motiv...Mostra di più
Descrizione dettagliata
This single-blinded randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Ziauddin Hospital and the IHRI Rehabilitation Centre and School, Karachi, Pakistan. A total of 90 children (aged 6-12 years) with spastic diplegic or hemiplegic cerebral palsy (GMFCS levels I-II) will be recruited through purposive sampling and stratified by age band (6-8 vs. 9-12 years) and GMFCS level. Participants will be randomized (1:1:1) into ...Mostra di più

Sperimentaleexergaming
The exergaming program will use Kinect Adventures (River Rush, Reflex Ridge) to train balance, agility, and trunk control; Kinect Sports to improve lower-limb activation, hand-eye coordination, and bilateral movements; Just Dance Kids for rhythmic stepping; and Kinect Party/Happy Action Theater to encourage free movement. Optional MIRA Rehab modules may target posture and agility. Sessions will be held three times pe...Mostra di più

Sperimentalebiofeedback-enhanced exergaming
This group will perform the same exergaming activities as the exergaming group, with the added integration of real-time multimodal biofeedback to enhance motor learning. The frequency and duration of sessions will be identical to the exergaming group. Participants will receive on-screen visual guides that indicate whether their movements are being performed correctly, along with auditory feedback through performance-...Mostra di più
biofeedback-enhanced exergaming
This group will perform the same exergames as Intervention 1 but with real-time visual, auditory, and optional vibration feedback to enhance motor learning. Surface EMG (Delsys Trigno) will record bilateral muscle activity, and Microsoft Kinect SDK (v2/Azure) will track joint motion and posture. Session frequency and duration will be identical.

Children in this group will receive standard physical therapy to improve gross motor function, especially balance and mobility. Sessions will be held three times per week for twelve weeks, lasting 30-45 minutes. The protocol includes a 5-minute warm-up, 12-15 minutes of strengthening for hip, knee, and ankle muscles, 8-10 minutes of balance training using wobble boards or foam, and 8-10 minutes of functional mobility...Mostra di più

Esito primario
Misure di esitoDescrizione della misuraArco temporale
Gross Motor Function Improvement
Outcome Measure Title: Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) total score (%) Description: Gross motor function will be assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88), a standardized observational tool evaluating motor skills across five domains: lying \& rolling, sitting, crawling \& kneeling, standing, and walking/running/jumping. Scores are expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible score. Score range: 0-100% Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better gross motor function.
4-6 months
Balance Performance
Outcome Measure Title: Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) total score Description: Balance performance will be measured using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS), a functional balance assessment adapted from the Berg Balance Scale. The scale consists of 14 tasks assessing static and dynamic balance during functional activities. Score range: 0-56 Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better balance performance.
4-6 months
Postural Control
Outcome Measure Title: Postural stability parameters derived from Kinect-based motion analysis Description: Postural control stability will be quantified using Kinect-based motion tracking, capturing center of mass displacement, joint angles, and sway during task-based activities. Movement stability indices (e.g., reduced sway amplitude and improved alignment) will be derived from kinematic data. Measurement units: Degrees (joint angles), millimeters (displacement), task-specific stability indices Interpretation: Lower sway and improved alignment indicate better postural stability.
4-6 months
Functional Mobility
Outcome Measure Title: Timed Up and Go (TUG) test duration (seconds) Description: Functional mobility will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, which measures the time required to stand from a seated position, walk 3 meters, turn, return, and sit down. Score range: Continuous variable (seconds) Interpretation: Shorter completion times indicate better functional mobility.
4-6 months
Esito secondario
Misure di esitoDescrizione della misuraArco temporale
Muscle Activation Patterns
Outcome Measure Title: Surface electromyography (sEMG) amplitude and activation timing during task performance Description: Surface EMG will be used to record muscle activation amplitude and timing during functional tasks. Outcome variables will include normalized EMG amplitude and coordination patterns across target muscle groups. Measurement units: Microvolts (µV), normalized activation ratios Interpretation: More efficient and coordinated activation patterns indicate improved motor control.
4-6 months
Game performance score
Score range: System-generated scores Interpretation: Higher game scores indicate improved motor learning and performance.
4-6 months
task completion time during virtual-based tasks
Description: Motor learning including task completion time generated by the virtual rehabilitation system. Interpretation: reduced completion times indicate improved motor learning and performance.
